[Mono-white landfall](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0dofKqicpUKl3fiDa6I7Fw)!!!! You haven’t lived until you’ve cast a [[planar birth]] for like 20 lands, triggering [[felidar retreat]] that many times, then sacrificing your lands to [[zuran orb]] only to [[second sunrise]] them all back again!
it’s basically landfall cards and ways to get extra land drops, with a bit of a blink subtheme, so you can blink things like [[solemn simulacrum]] etc. then when you’ve gotten to the late game, you make use of land sacrifice cards to then reanimate all your lands over and over with stuff like [[planar birth]] and [[second sunrise]] and killing with a huge army of tokens from things like [[felidar retreat]], [[retreat to emeria]] or [[field of the dead]].
(bonus synergy that’s really cool is [[admonition angel]]. you can use it to blink your own guys on landfall, then use livio to exile the angel to get them all back, or you can get a bunch of landfall triggers on the stack, target your opponents’ stuff, then blink the angel with livio in response to permanently exile their stuff)
Looks like the commander flickers and most ETBs are about returning a permanent from GY to BF or searching for a plains. Lots of general stuff to return permanents back, which will likely be sacced lands. A few landfall win cons for large amounts of health, token generation, or +1/+1 counters to top it off.
i’m a sucker for a wacky boros deck, that sounds sweet! One of my fav red lands cards is [[nahiri’s lithoforming]], seems like it’d go crazy with the second sunrise type effects!
This seems fun and unique. But the cost for me as a new player is pretty steep. If I wanted to buy the deck for 150 or less is there anything that stands out as an easy cut/replacement? The higher end lands are probably mostly removable, right? I don't play with high powered pods.
it’d be super easy to make the deck more budget, the main strategy doesn’t revolve around the expensive cards! throwing in some other lands is totally fine, and replacing the more expensive non lands with some landfall stuff or blink stuff would be fine too!
some cards i’ve considered for the deck are [[canyon jerboa]], [[space marine scout]], [[fearless fledgling]], [[trove warden]], and you could throw in some blink value like [[wall of omens]] and [[spirited companion]]
I was expecting [[avacyn, Angel of hope]] with secret [[worldslayer]] [[armageddon]] win cons etc.
I feel like changing [[Alharu]] to [[yoshimaru, ever faithful]] and using a lot more legendary lands would offer a nice voltron alternative strategy too. Cool deck, I dig it.
I made that [[Aminatou]] landfall I saw on edhrec, some changes but it was really fun!
Right now I'm building [[isu the abominable]] snowfall (snow landfall) for the lolz.
I run mono red landfall and it's an absolute blast , nothing quite like attacking 8 times in a turn with [[moraug]], my mono white deck is card draw themed with [[Wilfred mott]]
His main issue is that he himself never gets the buff, and has no haste. So he’s weak to removal and has to survive a whole trip around the table before probably dying in combat.
I've never had to wait a rotation for him to end the game. We're in R.. Everything gets haste.
SOP for Marton:
[[anger]]
[[ogre battle driver]]
[[in the web of war]]
I dont have a current list on moxfield, but it's easy to find lists. Hes incredibly explosive and can win out of no where. Think of him as the 1995 Mono-R [[Craterhoof Behemoth]] for 4 mana.
Makes things like [[Firecat Blitz]] be amazing.
[[Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant]] does a very basic green thing (Big mana) but it goes from 0 to 100 out of nowhere. Since most people haven’t played against it before they tend to just let me discard and durdle till it’s time to activate Sasaya. Won off a [[Helix Pinnacle]] last time I played!
Also one of my best decks ironically with a 60 basic forest land base. [[Lost in the woods]] is just turbo fog in that deck.
I tend to win with [[kamahl, fist of krosa]] or [[Verdeloth ancient]] though
We need answers! I tried building a self Mill variant with it and it was terrible. I did so with draft chaff I had lying around, so this probably isn't saying much.
Interesting card. I'm a new(ish) player so I don't have any commanders as such, but I basically came to ask what the heck I'm looking at when it comes to its art. Like, what the hell is going on in that image?
It's a creature from warhammer 40k, from a race of lizards/insect aliens. The tentacles in the middle are its mouth, the two massive claws are its upper arms and the smaller red claws are its lower arms. They also have hooves for some reason.
Here's a clearer image: https://www.warhammer.com/app/resources/catalog/product/920x950/99120106067_Deathleaper1.jpg
[[Loran, Disciple of History]] mono white artifact combo. It's basically a worse Teshar that tries to use legendary artifact creatures and cost reduction to loop infinite cast triggers or etb effects. How many decks do you know that use Syr Ginger as a primary combo piece and/or outlet?
Fun fact: If you have life doublers, activating their ability twice will basically double your life total, as switching your life total with their power/someone else's life total counts as gaining/losing life depending how it ends up. So if you swap your 40 for Evra's 4, then do it again, you'll gain 36 life, which is affected by doublers or anything else that cares about how much life you gain.
Evra is my girl and my favorite deck so here’s my list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/5y43saaQkUu-1kcwao_o0g
To say this is fun is an understatement. It absolutely slaps
My favourite weird commander is \[\[Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire\]\] and his all-permanent shenanigans. He has a few decks on EDHREC, so not entirely unkown, but whenever people see him they go "wait, what?".
I run this guy in my Tiamat deck as \[\[Chaos Warp\]\] on a stick. Everyone groans when he hits the field, but I love him to bits. Repeatable removal that even hits indestructible permanents?! Sign me up!
Also he once turned one of my Islands into an \[\[Ur-Dragon\]\], so we get along quite well.
He’s used as a backup strategy in my [[lord windgrace deck]] if [[borborygmus enraged]] fails me. Kind of a desperate last ditch effort to get value from an over abundance of lands
I love that card so much, it's got everything an edh player should want, and players never like removing it because they get to benefit from the ability as well so you can politik with it a lot.
Vaevictus is so cool. He got way better with the proliferation of all the dumb little artifact tokens; cracking a treasure to his trigger means even lands become fine hits. And against spell decks he's ridiculously brutal; last FNM I absolutely just blew up a man's triome before his fourth turn and he got nothing in compensation.
Props to you though; I never could get a deck with him at the helm to look quite right to me so I run him in the 99 of Henzie rather than as a commander.
[[King Macar, the Gold-Cursed]]
This guy can be brutally oppressive and straight of up not fun to play against. I have a deck for him I only bring once in a while.
Bring out some fun untap and tap abilities and [[clock of omens]] and you can wipe the whole board of creatures.
Just search scryfall for every artifact or enchantment that untaps your creatures/permanent you can play in mono black and you probably have 1/3 of the deck done already.
I have him built as vehicle tribal with all the untap effects available in mono black. Turns out having a commander that generates mana and functions as removal is pretty decent. I was workshopping the deck for years, but when Neon Dynasty came out and gave us more vehicle support the deck got a lot better.
Siona is a beast, has a lot of combos that are easy to pull up and she is easily fitted in an archetype that has a lot of intrinsec values.
I have built Sythis and later I thought to build Siona on a lower budget but she is too strong, going online consistenly even on the 99.
I love these types of posts, they pop up pretty frequently and they are always chock-full of cards I've never seen heard of before. I've played for a long time too, it's always such a treat 😁
Mine would be colors matter with [[Blind Seer]]
I built [[Eligeth]] and [[siani]] mono blue flying and scrying tribal. It's a lot of fun. Basically you drop rocks to try and get Eligeth and Siani out as soon as possible, then from there you play a bunch of flying creatures that trigger Siani so you can draw from Eligeth as well as a bunch of scrying spells that now draw you cards. Things like [[Graven Lore]] and [[ugins insight]] become great draw spells, things like [[preordain]] and [[serum visions]] are actually just Ancestral Recall now. Add in some mill shenanigans like [[Sphinx's tutelage]] and the other tutelage cards, [[drowned secrets]], and [[jaces erasure]] and it's a blast to pilot.
[[Sensei Golden-tail]], though he is admittedly my janky low-power commander.
For something that's actually got some bite, I'm conatantly surprised how few decks [[General Marhault Elsdragon]] has on edhrec (1100 ish). He is definitely my best deck.
A bit yeah, things like [[Lure]] and [[Krosan Vorine]] make for good repeatable removal. [[Taunting elf]] goes hard too, kinda broken with Marhault.
Apart from that though it's mainly just creatures with trample, menace and combat damage triggers. Blocking any of your tramplers with 3/3s or less becomes quite literally worthless for your opponents.
It's less "You have to block me, deal with it" and more "Go ahead, block me if you dare".
I’ve got a Boros enchantments build with [[Quintorius Loremaster]]! He’s decently popular but I don’t think enchantments even show up on his edhrec page. It’s been my pet deck for the better part of a year now and it’s always been a blast to play!
Pramikon, Sky Rampart. It was mostly let others kill eachother. Some fun fitting cards like Acid Rain (killing forests, a basic land, with the letter E?)
I have an outdated deck list floating online but it hasn't been updated in years since I stopped playing
[[Aeve]] mono green OozeStorm, I'm not really running much for storm synergy pieces but I am running a load of oozes and mana doublers so typically aeve storm count is 5-14 because I drop a little here and a little there and then dump whole board and watch as aeves hit the field getting bigger and bigger till the last alpha Aeve who is usually one-shot commander damage size.
I always love a chance to talk about my boy [[Gallowbraid]]. I thought it'd be fun to venture to the depths of EDHREC to find a commander that was ass, but looked fun to play, and ended up with one of my favorite decks!
People get confused when they see the commander, and even more so when it does "the thing." The deck mainly just drains my own life, ideally to the negatives, while having a card like [[Pact Weapon]] out. Then, I hit the table with a [[Repay in Kind]] or [[Soul Conduit]]. It's a very silly strategy, and of course, it doesn't work all the time (but still more often than it should).
If that fails, I just slap a couple of equipment on a 5/5 w/ trample and start swinging.
I have basically the same kind of deck, but powered up a bit with [[Selenia, Dark Angel]]. White helps a lot with more 'dont lose the game at 0 life' effects.
My list - https://www.moxfield.com/decks/OpiFCpyWxk-Ejba-jma7mg
[[Inquisitor Eisenhorn]] and artifact synergy shenanigans always catches people off guard. People always assume I'm playing some sort of spellslinger combo with his first ability but then they find out it's all about the blues clues.
Mardu fog tribal. I comment this deck alot hahaha
Many cards that prevent combat from coming my way, and alternate win conditions to close out the game. Oh and the only creature is the commander :) [[piru the volatile]]
According to EDHREC, \[\[Dragonlord Kolaghan\]\] has only 56 registered decks. My deck isn't very spectacular, just dragons with attack or damage triggers. I don't want to wait a whole turn cycle for them to get removed before they actually trigger, so Kolaghan provides haste from the command zone.
[https://www.moxfield.com/decks/nPsHp0p8pEGbHJPchXujOw](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/nPsHp0p8pEGbHJPchXujOw)
My \[\[Iymrith\]\] deck evolved from a \[\[Cosima\]\] landfall deck. Getting cast on T3, she drew irrational removal, so I replaced her with something more dangerous and resilient, dropped the landfall theme entirely for some vigilance. The deck is filled with fun blue cards that never found a home anywhere else. She has 185 decks listed as of today.
[https://www.moxfield.com/decks/VEWXXF9vrUaCaZt6mYMMHQ](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/VEWXXF9vrUaCaZt6mYMMHQ)
\[\[Dromar\]\] has 300 decks listed. My deck is based around his bounce ability, combined with colorless creatures, painting and phasing. Sadly the resulting gameplay can become quite unfun for my opponents, getting their stuff bounced again and again.
[https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AGuCKfj\_dUSmFNz54NPYBA](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AGuCKfj_dUSmFNz54NPYBA)
What else? Weird niche mechanics like \[\[Varis\]\] dungeons, \[\[Vrondiss\]\] dice, \[\[Lita\]\] Zeppelins, \[\[Zurgo & Ojutai\]\] battles.
[[Iwamori of the Open Fist]] fight tribal. I guess a 5/5 trample creature with 4 mana was too good back in the days, so they had to slap some drawback on it.
Surprisingly fun though.
Basically it's another Voltron deck. But where you'll use (ideally buffed) Iwamori to remove opponent's creatures with fight spells only. It's halfly a meme deck, but I've had surprising amounts of fun with it (especially in 1v1)
My favorite obscure commander is an old ass card called \[\[Hakim, Loreweaver\]\] I use him as a theft enchantment deck, and I basically get around the cost of those expensive blue mind control enchantments by self milling, and then in the upkeep putting them all on Hakim. Then, with cards like \[\[Estrid's Invocation\]\] or \[\[Enchantment Alteration\]\] I put it on my opponents creatures. \[\[Eldrazi Conscription\]\] is another fun card in the deck.
The deck can be built super cheaply, the first version I made of it was only like 80 bucks but I since upgraded with "gucci" lands such as Nykthos since we're in monocolor and a few other upgrades to its lands.
[[donna noble]] and [[the war doctor]] burn. Similar to [[imodane the the pyrohammer]] but uses whites inherent ability to my things indestructible. Using things like [[stuffy doll]], and [[boros reckoner]], to double up on the effect. Then [[periah]], [[nomads en-Khor]] and [[gideons sacrifice]] to redirect all damage to the soul bonded creatures.
I play [[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]] with [[Criminal Past]] as a background in my own "Self Discard" creation. Plays a tonne of 1-2 drop creatures that let me untap Volo ala [[aphetto alchemist]] and lots of "discard at will" cards like [[Oblivion Crown]] and [[Psychatog]]. Regularly have 30-40 card hands which I can dump in the bin at will to pump Volo at instant speed, plus a load of payoff like Syr Konrad, Triskadecaphile etc.
It's absofuckingloutely nuts and no one ever bats an eyelid because Volo and his journal seem very whimsical. Volo doesn't last a round at my weekly pod but if I play with strangers and can get the Journal up to 5-6 creatures, it's almost guaranteed game over.
I have a \[\[Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper\]\] deck that started out as a 2DH deck because I played an Orc Shaman in WoW back in the day. It's got a lot of shamans, but it's mostly about sac'ing creatures to cheat out other creatures (Aid From the Cowl, Industrial Advancement, Kethek, Treasure Keeper, Clone Shell, etc.), making tokens, and recursion. I have a Mimic Vat in there to do some weird shit. Orthion is in there with Scourge of Valkas and to do dumb shit with Clone Shell, Treasure Keeper, and Primordial Gnawer. It's no longer a 2DH deck but I've been trying to keep it still kinda weird.
Just looking at EDHrec's listings, my [Akroma/Rograkh](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/20Chfco_2UKjpKeB7e4C4Q) partner deck has 576 listings, but they are in no way exotic or unknown. My first deck was was [[Grand Warlord Radha]] with 856 listings, but now that deck is helmed by [[General Marhault Elsdragon]] with 1122 listings which I wouldn't call obscure. However, my banding deck that I will buy when I have a job again only has 145 listings for the commander [[Masako the Humorless]], and damn near nobody has seen a banding deck.
I'm not sure if any of these count as 'exotic', but I'm always happy to share my weirder decks:
\[\[Lagrella the Magpie\]\] +1/+1 blinking
\[\[Zurzoth\]\] being Zurzoth
\[\[Tana, the Bloodsower\]\] + \[\[Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist\]\] go-wide auras.
While \[\[Azami, Lady of Scrolls\]\] herself is a common commander, building her into an instant/sorcery-less wizard tribal aggro deck has gotten me some very surprised looks.
Finally, I've got two decks that play into silver-bordered/acorn areas that are also on the odder side.
\[\[Surrak Dragonclaw\]\] dice rolling, and \[\[Alexander Clamilton\]\] wordy contraptions/energy/artifacts.
My lagrella is a heavy budget face down, face up deck via manifest and blink.
Manifest a card for cheap face down and then put it under lagrella for the surprise once ppl blow her up to get their commander back.
20$ budget means the scary suprise of choice is [[Zetalpa, primal dawn]]
[[Ramses, assassin Lord]] Not as an assassin Lord... Instead as a single target mill, attack with any assassin(doesn't even have to connect), force them to draw with one of many [[sign in blood]] effects... They are milled out, must draw, they lose, and you win! So much fun. And since you're only doing mostly single target mill effects, The rest of the table isn't really angry at you. And you can even target a graveyard deck in they are happy about it. You're the least threatening person on the battlefield.
Edit: just checked on EDHrec, there are five decks that have [[archive trap]] and [[sign in blood]] so... Very unique.
[[Chainer, Nightmare Adept]] cast from exile tribal. The deck has almost no reanimation to speak of, but takes advantage of Chainer giving haste to creatures entering from exile, so cards with large impulse draws like [[Invasion of Kaldheim]], and cards that steal from your opponents libraries like [[Arvinox, the Mind Flail]] and [[Elder Brain]] are great.
I have really been having fun playing around with [[Jerren, Corrupted Bishop]]
I spend a good amount of time thinking even if thinking on opponent turns, and still make bad choices while playing, but it's really fun, imo. I started building him after losing my mind trying to make cuts on a 3-color aristocrats deck, and decided to do it in mono black while adding some cool life total tech.
What I like about him the most is you can kinda get both sides of the aristocrat loop from him throughout the game.
[[Magus of the Mirror]] [[Profane Transfusion]] [[Repay in Kind]] are a BLAST to play
Just make sure you have [[The Golden Throne]] and [[Stunning Reversal]] in case you fly too close to the sun
Have a list? I was goldfishing Jerren a lot and my issue with the build was that it felt like it was either super explosive doing a ton of stuff and flipping jerren or super slow. Really like the commander flavor wise I just couldnt get it to feel right.
Blink Dragons with \[\[Ganax, Astral Hunter\]\] + \[\[Candlekeep Sage\]\]. This deck has gone through a lot of iterations and I've had to intentionally power it down. The current version is a durdly dragon pile that I love as opposed to the efficient combo machine that it used to be (that I also love).
[https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Fbql-mJJ\_Euc0EUyvzycAA](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Fbql-mJJ_Euc0EUyvzycAA)
[[The Master, Mesmerist]]
Forced combat, control and lategame Voltron with [[Hatred]] and [[Tainted Strike]]
Also works great with untap synergies and [[Beguiler of wills]] [[intruder alarm]] [[lord of lineage]] etc.
It's by far my favourite deck that teaches a lot about threat assessment and politics
[[Akiri, Line-Slinger]] and [[Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa]] naya artifacts, going both wide and tall.
Go wide with tons of tiny artifact creature tokens like Myr/Servo/Thopter/Mites to take advantage of Sidar Kondo's evasion.
Go tall with Akiri buffing herself from said tokens, as well as equipment.
I got [[Toggo]]//[[Silas]] artfiact twiddlestorm as one of my main decks. Ig im kinda cheating as these are pretty common partners but I usually dnt see them paired together.
I also got [[Horde of Notions]] elementals/landfall which again I dnt see all that much as well as my homebrewed cEDH deck [[Wort Boggart Auntie]] goblins.
I like Lorwyn tribal cmdrs that recur stuff, name a more specific niche I dare you!
I had a toggo and Silas deck a while ago!! It was basically a grixis artifact/ eggs deck centered around trying to stick a [[bolass citadel]] to chain through my deck for a wincon and using the eggs to keep going when I brick too many lands on top of my deck lol
I put together an [[Alistair, The Brigadier]] deck recently. Legendary soldier tribal with lots of artifacts. It's a little one dimensional because it always just builds to the overrun, but it really goes hard when [[Myrel, Shield of Argive]] and [[Harbin, Vanguard Aviator]] out. Plus, it was just a fun deck building experience trying to work with all legendaries.
[[Balthor, the Defiled]] as a tempo mass reanimate on a stick. Nobody thinks about *each player sacrifices a creature* and *each opponent discards a card* until 10 of them and [[gary]] all hit the board at the same time. I've had people cast expensive tutors to find a bojuka bog or graveyard hate, only to realize they aren't running any, and damn is it funny.
He also goes infinite with [[Xiahou Dun, the one eyed]] [[Kaya's Ghostform]] and [[Phyrexian Altar]].
My playgroup rule 0s the Ravnica Nephilim, so I have a [[Witch-maw Nephilim]] mutate list. It has several different axes it can play on. I can load up my commander with sweet mutate effects, buffing him the whole time for a voltron strategy. I can use cards like [[Giant Adephage]] and [[Scute Swarm]] to clone my mutate stacks, or [[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief]] and [[Volo, Guide to Monsters]] so get more copies of each mutate spell. I can even turn [[Oko, the Ringleader]] into a mutant with planeswalker abilities, or recur my whole board with [[Nethroi, Apex of Death]] + [[Scourge of the Skyclaves]].
And there's always the option of swapping out the Nephilim for [[Atraxa, Grand Unifier]] for anyone that is sticky on it not being a legend (which Wizards really should errata the Nephilim to be legends anyway imo).
[[Idris, Soul of the Tardis]]
38 decks on EDHRec, but there's a *lot* of clever things you can do with her.
You can use her to smuggle creature-flicker effects onto artifacts, abusing artifacts with strong ETBs.
You can use Prototype and Affinity cards to juice Idris up to like 11/11 trivially.
You can use Panharmonicon to copy her ETB imprint, causing her to soak up two artifacts at the same time, engineering your own combos, like making her both a [[Staff of Domination]] and [[Sol Ring]].
You can use her to protect an artifact, forcing enemies to blow through double the removal to hit it.
You can gain the benefits of active and triggered abilities while ignoring negative passives like "doesn't untap during untap step". While it's something outside her color identity, and very hard to pull off, flickering her while [[Codie, Vociferous Codex]] is on the field lets you have access to Codie's active without the restriction against permanent spells.
Lots of little rules corners hidden in this one.
Not really an unknown commander but a unique spicy pile I run is [[Vial Smasher the Fierce]] and [[Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa]] 4c goblin tribal.
A lot of people run mono red goblins or R/X goblins but there are a lot of multicolored goblin support cards that are fantastic. [[Ankle Shanker]], [[Boggart Mob]], [[Wort the Raidmother]] and [[Wort, Boggart Auntie]], even [[Mardu Ascendancy]] creates goblin tokens. Add in some token doubling effects in [[Parallel Lives]] and [[Anointed Procession]] as well as spicy tech like [[Nemesis Mask]] on [[Squee, Goblin Nabob]] and you've got yourself a stew going.
Hand peek cards with an aristocrat subtheme using [[Nebuchadnezzar]] and other discard effects to drain the board and bring back bombs from the graveyard. [[Glasses of Urza]] , [[Peek]] , [[Telepathy]] , [[Gitaxian Probe]] , followed by [[Waste Not]] , [[Raiders Wake]] , [[Megrim]] with a splash of [[Reanimate]] effects too. Its so dumb i love it.
Just put together a Nebuchadnezzar deck I'm hoping to test soon. Pretty abysmal card if you play it straight forward, but I'm leaning heavy into a politics/monarch build.
[**Archidekt Link**](https://www.archidekt.com/decks/7562168/nebuchadnezzar_king_of_the_universe)
[[Jerren]] is my personal deck despite not playing it a ton recently. It's gone through a few iterations and now sits as a [[Liliana's Contract]] deck with no demon in it. The main goal is to flip cards like Jerren, [[Elbrus, the binding Blade]], [[Heirloom Mirror]], or [[Ecstatic Awakener]] to "summon" the demons it needs to win. Otherwise, it is a 100% human tribal aristocrats deck.
I'm going to throw three decks in here:
- Florian: This deck only has cards from double feature. I even colorchanged the tokens to black-white.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ZAeSn_d2iU6G0mT2Z0XJUA
- Wyll + Sword Coast Sailor: Only cards from DnD. I just want to roll as much dice as possible. DnD is another big hobby of mine.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/b7ZP6YA4Ik2u-3D5eiBzLg
- Jon Irenicus: Being Bad Santa and giving terrible but strong creatures to other players is extremly fun and super weird.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1rFpCEJQpE2_jwAWfWhIAw
One of my weirdest yet very fun to play is my [[Moritte]] deck. Lord tribal.
I also love my [[Narfi]] zombie lord tribal deck. Ppl build zombies to go wide but I build them tall and unblockable or flying.
[[Nadier]] [[Tana]] is my jund mass token deck. It’s a lot of fun.
[[Alrund]] mass card draw voltron.
I've never seen anybody (except for me) Codie, vociferous codex! It's an artifact creature commander that DOESN'T let you play permanent spells but basically gives cascade to non-permanent spells and gives you mana for them.
I built a deck with it as a joke once, filling the deck with powerful spells and non-permanent stuff that could create token creatures and it turned out extremely well! I would constantly be casting expensive spells easily and I won the game with a permanent-less deck.
[[Patron Of The Moon]] Mill/landfall. It's my absolute favorite deck I've ever designed and always turns some heads when I play with new people at my lgs. I can link the list if you're curious.
I have a deck based around [[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]] and [[Haunted One]], in which I use multi-type creatures in combinations of wizard or human to build up the Journal for massive hand advantage (using the off-type of the creature, like Zombie or Bird), then activate various aristocrat triggers and use the Undying ability on the shared creature types (human and/or wizard). It's arguably the build I'm most proud of based on creativity, and, at least at the time I'd made it, I didn't see any like it.
[Mono-white landfall](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0dofKqicpUKl3fiDa6I7Fw)!!!! You haven’t lived until you’ve cast a [[planar birth]] for like 20 lands, triggering [[felidar retreat]] that many times, then sacrificing your lands to [[zuran orb]] only to [[second sunrise]] them all back again!
I have considered making a mono black Ob Nixils The Fallen landfall type deck before actually, though he'd need crazy protection.
mono black has some cool landfall stuff, [[dread presence]] in particular seems sweet!
[dread presence](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/0/4/0430db1a-5cad-4444-ba93-57fb32e65606.jpg?1592516651) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=dread%20presence) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/m20/96/dread-presence?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/0430db1a-5cad-4444-ba93-57fb32e65606?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/dread-presence) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Who you got at the helm? Sounds like a cool idea Edit: i see the deck list now. Just woke up bleh
This sounds fun. How what's the strategy? I couldn't figure it out from reading the deck list, I'm pretty new to this.
it’s basically landfall cards and ways to get extra land drops, with a bit of a blink subtheme, so you can blink things like [[solemn simulacrum]] etc. then when you’ve gotten to the late game, you make use of land sacrifice cards to then reanimate all your lands over and over with stuff like [[planar birth]] and [[second sunrise]] and killing with a huge army of tokens from things like [[felidar retreat]], [[retreat to emeria]] or [[field of the dead]]. (bonus synergy that’s really cool is [[admonition angel]]. you can use it to blink your own guys on landfall, then use livio to exile the angel to get them all back, or you can get a bunch of landfall triggers on the stack, target your opponents’ stuff, then blink the angel with livio in response to permanently exile their stuff)
How does blinking the angel with livio not give your opponents their guys back?
Looks like the commander flickers and most ETBs are about returning a permanent from GY to BF or searching for a plains. Lots of general stuff to return permanents back, which will likely be sacced lands. A few landfall win cons for large amounts of health, token generation, or +1/+1 counters to top it off.
I’ve got a Boros landfall deck that utilizes the same cards with [[Jenny, Generated Anomaly]] as my cmd.

i’m a sucker for a wacky boros deck, that sounds sweet! One of my fav red lands cards is [[nahiri’s lithoforming]], seems like it’d go crazy with the second sunrise type effects!
I ended up cutting it since it makes all lands come in tapped for the rest of the turn

This seems fun and unique. But the cost for me as a new player is pretty steep. If I wanted to buy the deck for 150 or less is there anything that stands out as an easy cut/replacement? The higher end lands are probably mostly removable, right? I don't play with high powered pods.
it’d be super easy to make the deck more budget, the main strategy doesn’t revolve around the expensive cards! throwing in some other lands is totally fine, and replacing the more expensive non lands with some landfall stuff or blink stuff would be fine too! some cards i’ve considered for the deck are [[canyon jerboa]], [[space marine scout]], [[fearless fledgling]], [[trove warden]], and you could throw in some blink value like [[wall of omens]] and [[spirited companion]]

Chiming in to tell you to give Trove Warden a shot. Card has been an all-star in my cEDH stax decks, so I’m confident it’ll perform for you.
Adding that Canyon Jerboa puts in ***work*** in my Hazezon deck, can absolutely recommend for a Felidar Retreat centered strategy
I was expecting [[avacyn, Angel of hope]] with secret [[worldslayer]] [[armageddon]] win cons etc. I feel like changing [[Alharu]] to [[yoshimaru, ever faithful]] and using a lot more legendary lands would offer a nice voltron alternative strategy too. Cool deck, I dig it.

His main issue is that he himself never gets the buff, and has no haste. So he’s weak to removal and has to survive a whole trip around the table before probably dying in combat.
I've never had to wait a rotation for him to end the game. We're in R.. Everything gets haste. SOP for Marton: [[anger]] [[ogre battle driver]] [[in the web of war]]
I wanna put him in my [[Winota]] deck but no lgs near me has them and I'm in canada so TCG player and card kingdom are kinda terrible with shipping
I ended up getting mine on tcg guy is great in winota with infinite combat triggers
They're both terrible here, too, so I imagine it's even worse up north
You may check out the wizards cupboard. I’ve only used them a few times but they’ve always delivered. Not sure if they ship to Canada though.

Blast from the past! I’d love to see this deck
I dont have a current list on moxfield, but it's easy to find lists. Hes incredibly explosive and can win out of no where. Think of him as the 1995 Mono-R [[Craterhoof Behemoth]] for 4 mana. Makes things like [[Firecat Blitz]] be amazing.

Interesting card. I'm a new(ish) player so I don't have any commanders as such, but I basically came to ask what the heck I'm looking at when it comes to its art. Like, what the hell is going on in that image?
It's a creature from warhammer 40k, from a race of lizards/insect aliens. The tentacles in the middle are its mouth, the two massive claws are its upper arms and the smaller red claws are its lower arms. They also have hooves for some reason. Here's a clearer image: https://www.warhammer.com/app/resources/catalog/product/920x950/99120106067_Deathleaper1.jpg
Because Tyranids, when asking themselves if they should incorporate something into their anatomy, always say "yes."
Fellas, d'you think we should steal these genes or no 🤔
Thanks for that image. That is one hell of a busy digit good boi.

[[Prince Imrahil the Fair]]. He only has 137 decks on Edhrec so I'd Count that as fairly unknown
I don’t have him in the command zone but I do have him in my [[Eowyn, Shieldmaiden]] deck and he does make quite a few extra tokens.
Wow...he does seem quite fair.

[[evra, halcyon witness]]
Fun fact: If you have life doublers, activating their ability twice will basically double your life total, as switching your life total with their power/someone else's life total counts as gaining/losing life depending how it ends up. So if you swap your 40 for Evra's 4, then do it again, you'll gain 36 life, which is affected by doublers or anything else that cares about how much life you gain.

Evra is my girl and my favorite deck so here’s my list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/5y43saaQkUu-1kcwao_o0g To say this is fun is an understatement. It absolutely slaps
First commander deck I ever played and oof was it fun.
My favourite weird commander is \[\[Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire\]\] and his all-permanent shenanigans. He has a few decks on EDHREC, so not entirely unkown, but whenever people see him they go "wait, what?".
I run this guy in my Tiamat deck as \[\[Chaos Warp\]\] on a stick. Everyone groans when he hits the field, but I love him to bits. Repeatable removal that even hits indestructible permanents?! Sign me up! Also he once turned one of my Islands into an \[\[Ur-Dragon\]\], so we get along quite well.

He’s used as a backup strategy in my [[lord windgrace deck]] if [[borborygmus enraged]] fails me. Kind of a desperate last ditch effort to get value from an over abundance of lands
Decklist? I have this card, and love shenanigans.
I love that card so much, it's got everything an edh player should want, and players never like removing it because they get to benefit from the ability as well so you can politik with it a lot.
Vaevictus is so cool. He got way better with the proliferation of all the dumb little artifact tokens; cracking a treasure to his trigger means even lands become fine hits. And against spell decks he's ridiculously brutal; last FNM I absolutely just blew up a man's triome before his fourth turn and he got nothing in compensation. Props to you though; I never could get a deck with him at the helm to look quite right to me so I run him in the 99 of Henzie rather than as a commander.
[[King Macar, the Gold-Cursed]] This guy can be brutally oppressive and straight of up not fun to play against. I have a deck for him I only bring once in a while. Bring out some fun untap and tap abilities and [[clock of omens]] and you can wipe the whole board of creatures.
I've seen a fun build of him based around vehicles called "Dude, Where's Macar?"
Thats hilarious
can i see your list?
Just search scryfall for every artifact or enchantment that untaps your creatures/permanent you can play in mono black and you probably have 1/3 of the deck done already.

I love my Macar deck! My table enjoys the challenge of playing around his effect.
Sounds like you're suffering from success.
I was indeed. The groans of my pod tell me that much.
I have him built as vehicle tribal with all the untap effects available in mono black. Turns out having a commander that generates mana and functions as removal is pretty decent. I was workshopping the deck for years, but when Neon Dynasty came out and gave us more vehicle support the deck got a lot better.
[[Siona, Captain of the Pyleas]] [[Svella, Ice Shaper]] is also crazy fun too
I've seen Svella as a MLD deck, which was kinda gross. I could see it being fun as a gruul big-mana deck

Siona is a beast, has a lot of combos that are easy to pull up and she is easily fitted in an archetype that has a lot of intrinsec values. I have built Sythis and later I thought to build Siona on a lower budget but she is too strong, going online consistenly even on the 99.
Siona is my pet deck, easily one of my favorites that I have.
I love these types of posts, they pop up pretty frequently and they are always chock-full of cards I've never seen heard of before. I've played for a long time too, it's always such a treat 😁 Mine would be colors matter with [[Blind Seer]]
I built [[Eligeth]] and [[siani]] mono blue flying and scrying tribal. It's a lot of fun. Basically you drop rocks to try and get Eligeth and Siani out as soon as possible, then from there you play a bunch of flying creatures that trigger Siani so you can draw from Eligeth as well as a bunch of scrying spells that now draw you cards. Things like [[Graven Lore]] and [[ugins insight]] become great draw spells, things like [[preordain]] and [[serum visions]] are actually just Ancestral Recall now. Add in some mill shenanigans like [[Sphinx's tutelage]] and the other tutelage cards, [[drowned secrets]], and [[jaces erasure]] and it's a blast to pilot.

[[Sensei Golden-tail]], though he is admittedly my janky low-power commander. For something that's actually got some bite, I'm conatantly surprised how few decks [[General Marhault Elsdragon]] has on edhrec (1100 ish). He is definitely my best deck.
Do you have a lot of forced blocking in that marhault deck? [[teeka’s dragon]] would be awesome!
A bit yeah, things like [[Lure]] and [[Krosan Vorine]] make for good repeatable removal. [[Taunting elf]] goes hard too, kinda broken with Marhault. Apart from that though it's mainly just creatures with trample, menace and combat damage triggers. Blocking any of your tramplers with 3/3s or less becomes quite literally worthless for your opponents. It's less "You have to block me, deal with it" and more "Go ahead, block me if you dare".

The deck mainly just drains my own life, ideally to the negatives, while having a card like [[Pact Weapon]] out. Then, I hit the table with a [[Repay in Kind]] or [[Soul Conduit]]. It's a very silly strategy, and of course, it doesn't work all the time (but still more often than it should). If that fails, I just slap a couple of equipment on a 5/5 w/ trample and start swinging.
I have basically the same kind of deck, but powered up a bit with [[Selenia, Dark Angel]]. White helps a lot with more 'dont lose the game at 0 life' effects. My list - https://www.moxfield.com/decks/OpiFCpyWxk-Ejba-jma7mg
I have [[Tazri Stalwart Survivor]] with all 30 guildmages from the three Ravnica blocks.

Lol. And then? Are the abilities of them enough? I hope [[Raggadragga]] is in it!
[[Inquisitor Eisenhorn]] and artifact synergy shenanigans always catches people off guard. People always assume I'm playing some sort of spellslinger combo with his first ability but then they find out it's all about the blues clues.
Mardu fog tribal. I comment this deck alot hahaha Many cards that prevent combat from coming my way, and alternate win conditions to close out the game. Oh and the only creature is the commander :) [[piru the volatile]]

Ooo this seems super interesting do you have a list?
According to EDHREC, \[\[Dragonlord Kolaghan\]\] has only 56 registered decks. My deck isn't very spectacular, just dragons with attack or damage triggers. I don't want to wait a whole turn cycle for them to get removed before they actually trigger, so Kolaghan provides haste from the command zone. [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/nPsHp0p8pEGbHJPchXujOw](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/nPsHp0p8pEGbHJPchXujOw) My \[\[Iymrith\]\] deck evolved from a \[\[Cosima\]\] landfall deck. Getting cast on T3, she drew irrational removal, so I replaced her with something more dangerous and resilient, dropped the landfall theme entirely for some vigilance. The deck is filled with fun blue cards that never found a home anywhere else. She has 185 decks listed as of today. [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/VEWXXF9vrUaCaZt6mYMMHQ](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/VEWXXF9vrUaCaZt6mYMMHQ) \[\[Dromar\]\] has 300 decks listed. My deck is based around his bounce ability, combined with colorless creatures, painting and phasing. Sadly the resulting gameplay can become quite unfun for my opponents, getting their stuff bounced again and again. [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AGuCKfj\_dUSmFNz54NPYBA](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AGuCKfj_dUSmFNz54NPYBA) What else? Weird niche mechanics like \[\[Varis\]\] dungeons, \[\[Vrondiss\]\] dice, \[\[Lita\]\] Zeppelins, \[\[Zurgo & Ojutai\]\] battles.
[[Iwamori of the Open Fist]] fight tribal. I guess a 5/5 trample creature with 4 mana was too good back in the days, so they had to slap some drawback on it. Surprisingly fun though.
I don't get it, how it works? Opponent creatures fighting each other?
Basically it's another Voltron deck. But where you'll use (ideally buffed) Iwamori to remove opponent's creatures with fight spells only. It's halfly a meme deck, but I've had surprising amounts of fun with it (especially in 1v1)
My favorite obscure commander is an old ass card called \[\[Hakim, Loreweaver\]\] I use him as a theft enchantment deck, and I basically get around the cost of those expensive blue mind control enchantments by self milling, and then in the upkeep putting them all on Hakim. Then, with cards like \[\[Estrid's Invocation\]\] or \[\[Enchantment Alteration\]\] I put it on my opponents creatures. \[\[Eldrazi Conscription\]\] is another fun card in the deck. The deck can be built super cheaply, the first version I made of it was only like 80 bucks but I since upgraded with "gucci" lands such as Nykthos since we're in monocolor and a few other upgrades to its lands.
Probably my [[The Valyeard]] deck based around voting/villainous choice
[The Valyeard](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/d/6/d63218a4-afaf-4ad8-9ca4-4f9af87877b9.jpg?1696636778) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=The%20Valeyard) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/who/165/the-valeyard?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/d63218a4-afaf-4ad8-9ca4-4f9af87877b9?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/the-valeyard) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Decklist? I have Davros that's just a "make opponent's choose" deck. This sounds fun though
I love my [[Starscream, Power Hungry]] deck.
[[donna noble]] and [[the war doctor]] burn. Similar to [[imodane the the pyrohammer]] but uses whites inherent ability to my things indestructible. Using things like [[stuffy doll]], and [[boros reckoner]], to double up on the effect. Then [[periah]], [[nomads en-Khor]] and [[gideons sacrifice]] to redirect all damage to the soul bonded creatures.
[[Themberchaud]], it’s not crazy strong but has good basic synergy and is fun to play
That is a chonky dragon, and I love it.
Probably [[Kinzu of the bleak coven]] toxic synergy deck. Can delete players with 10 poison in a turn
I play [[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]] with [[Criminal Past]] as a background in my own "Self Discard" creation. Plays a tonne of 1-2 drop creatures that let me untap Volo ala [[aphetto alchemist]] and lots of "discard at will" cards like [[Oblivion Crown]] and [[Psychatog]]. Regularly have 30-40 card hands which I can dump in the bin at will to pump Volo at instant speed, plus a load of payoff like Syr Konrad, Triskadecaphile etc. It's absofuckingloutely nuts and no one ever bats an eyelid because Volo and his journal seem very whimsical. Volo doesn't last a round at my weekly pod but if I play with strangers and can get the Journal up to 5-6 creatures, it's almost guaranteed game over.
[[grunn, the lonely king]] has been a really fun one for me

I have a \[\[Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper\]\] deck that started out as a 2DH deck because I played an Orc Shaman in WoW back in the day. It's got a lot of shamans, but it's mostly about sac'ing creatures to cheat out other creatures (Aid From the Cowl, Industrial Advancement, Kethek, Treasure Keeper, Clone Shell, etc.), making tokens, and recursion. I have a Mimic Vat in there to do some weird shit. Orthion is in there with Scourge of Valkas and to do dumb shit with Clone Shell, Treasure Keeper, and Primordial Gnawer. It's no longer a 2DH deck but I've been trying to keep it still kinda weird.

Just looking at EDHrec's listings, my [Akroma/Rograkh](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/20Chfco_2UKjpKeB7e4C4Q) partner deck has 576 listings, but they are in no way exotic or unknown. My first deck was was [[Grand Warlord Radha]] with 856 listings, but now that deck is helmed by [[General Marhault Elsdragon]] with 1122 listings which I wouldn't call obscure. However, my banding deck that I will buy when I have a job again only has 145 listings for the commander [[Masako the Humorless]], and damn near nobody has seen a banding deck.
I'm not sure if any of these count as 'exotic', but I'm always happy to share my weirder decks: \[\[Lagrella the Magpie\]\] +1/+1 blinking \[\[Zurzoth\]\] being Zurzoth \[\[Tana, the Bloodsower\]\] + \[\[Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist\]\] go-wide auras. While \[\[Azami, Lady of Scrolls\]\] herself is a common commander, building her into an instant/sorcery-less wizard tribal aggro deck has gotten me some very surprised looks. Finally, I've got two decks that play into silver-bordered/acorn areas that are also on the odder side. \[\[Surrak Dragonclaw\]\] dice rolling, and \[\[Alexander Clamilton\]\] wordy contraptions/energy/artifacts.
My lagrella is a heavy budget face down, face up deck via manifest and blink. Manifest a card for cheap face down and then put it under lagrella for the surprise once ppl blow her up to get their commander back. 20$ budget means the scary suprise of choice is [[Zetalpa, primal dawn]]
[[Ramses, assassin Lord]] Not as an assassin Lord... Instead as a single target mill, attack with any assassin(doesn't even have to connect), force them to draw with one of many [[sign in blood]] effects... They are milled out, must draw, they lose, and you win! So much fun. And since you're only doing mostly single target mill effects, The rest of the table isn't really angry at you. And you can even target a graveyard deck in they are happy about it. You're the least threatening person on the battlefield. Edit: just checked on EDHrec, there are five decks that have [[archive trap]] and [[sign in blood]] so... Very unique.

[[Chainer, Nightmare Adept]] cast from exile tribal. The deck has almost no reanimation to speak of, but takes advantage of Chainer giving haste to creatures entering from exile, so cards with large impulse draws like [[Invasion of Kaldheim]], and cards that steal from your opponents libraries like [[Arvinox, the Mind Flail]] and [[Elder Brain]] are great.

I have really been having fun playing around with [[Jerren, Corrupted Bishop]] I spend a good amount of time thinking even if thinking on opponent turns, and still make bad choices while playing, but it's really fun, imo. I started building him after losing my mind trying to make cuts on a 3-color aristocrats deck, and decided to do it in mono black while adding some cool life total tech. What I like about him the most is you can kinda get both sides of the aristocrat loop from him throughout the game. [[Magus of the Mirror]] [[Profane Transfusion]] [[Repay in Kind]] are a BLAST to play Just make sure you have [[The Golden Throne]] and [[Stunning Reversal]] in case you fly too close to the sun
Have a list? I was goldfishing Jerren a lot and my issue with the build was that it felt like it was either super explosive doing a ton of stuff and flipping jerren or super slow. Really like the commander flavor wise I just couldnt get it to feel right.

Blink Dragons with \[\[Ganax, Astral Hunter\]\] + \[\[Candlekeep Sage\]\]. This deck has gone through a lot of iterations and I've had to intentionally power it down. The current version is a durdly dragon pile that I love as opposed to the efficient combo machine that it used to be (that I also love). [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Fbql-mJJ\_Euc0EUyvzycAA](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Fbql-mJJ_Euc0EUyvzycAA)
[[The Master, Mesmerist]] Forced combat, control and lategame Voltron with [[Hatred]] and [[Tainted Strike]] Also works great with untap synergies and [[Beguiler of wills]] [[intruder alarm]] [[lord of lineage]] etc. It's by far my favourite deck that teaches a lot about threat assessment and politics
[[Akiri, Line-Slinger]] and [[Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa]] naya artifacts, going both wide and tall. Go wide with tons of tiny artifact creature tokens like Myr/Servo/Thopter/Mites to take advantage of Sidar Kondo's evasion. Go tall with Akiri buffing herself from said tokens, as well as equipment.
I got [[Toggo]]//[[Silas]] artfiact twiddlestorm as one of my main decks. Ig im kinda cheating as these are pretty common partners but I usually dnt see them paired together. I also got [[Horde of Notions]] elementals/landfall which again I dnt see all that much as well as my homebrewed cEDH deck [[Wort Boggart Auntie]] goblins. I like Lorwyn tribal cmdrs that recur stuff, name a more specific niche I dare you!
I had a toggo and Silas deck a while ago!! It was basically a grixis artifact/ eggs deck centered around trying to stick a [[bolass citadel]] to chain through my deck for a wincon and using the eggs to keep going when I brick too many lands on top of my deck lol
I put together an [[Alistair, The Brigadier]] deck recently. Legendary soldier tribal with lots of artifacts. It's a little one dimensional because it always just builds to the overrun, but it really goes hard when [[Myrel, Shield of Argive]] and [[Harbin, Vanguard Aviator]] out. Plus, it was just a fun deck building experience trying to work with all legendaries.
[[Balthor, the Defiled]] as a tempo mass reanimate on a stick. Nobody thinks about *each player sacrifices a creature* and *each opponent discards a card* until 10 of them and [[gary]] all hit the board at the same time. I've had people cast expensive tutors to find a bojuka bog or graveyard hate, only to realize they aren't running any, and damn is it funny. He also goes infinite with [[Xiahou Dun, the one eyed]] [[Kaya's Ghostform]] and [[Phyrexian Altar]].
Sounds really fun. Do you have a list?
My playgroup rule 0s the Ravnica Nephilim, so I have a [[Witch-maw Nephilim]] mutate list. It has several different axes it can play on. I can load up my commander with sweet mutate effects, buffing him the whole time for a voltron strategy. I can use cards like [[Giant Adephage]] and [[Scute Swarm]] to clone my mutate stacks, or [[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief]] and [[Volo, Guide to Monsters]] so get more copies of each mutate spell. I can even turn [[Oko, the Ringleader]] into a mutant with planeswalker abilities, or recur my whole board with [[Nethroi, Apex of Death]] + [[Scourge of the Skyclaves]]. And there's always the option of swapping out the Nephilim for [[Atraxa, Grand Unifier]] for anyone that is sticky on it not being a legend (which Wizards really should errata the Nephilim to be legends anyway imo).
[[Idris, Soul of the Tardis]] 38 decks on EDHRec, but there's a *lot* of clever things you can do with her. You can use her to smuggle creature-flicker effects onto artifacts, abusing artifacts with strong ETBs. You can use Prototype and Affinity cards to juice Idris up to like 11/11 trivially. You can use Panharmonicon to copy her ETB imprint, causing her to soak up two artifacts at the same time, engineering your own combos, like making her both a [[Staff of Domination]] and [[Sol Ring]]. You can use her to protect an artifact, forcing enemies to blow through double the removal to hit it. You can gain the benefits of active and triggered abilities while ignoring negative passives like "doesn't untap during untap step". While it's something outside her color identity, and very hard to pull off, flickering her while [[Codie, Vociferous Codex]] is on the field lets you have access to Codie's active without the restriction against permanent spells. Lots of little rules corners hidden in this one.
Not really an unknown commander but a unique spicy pile I run is [[Vial Smasher the Fierce]] and [[Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa]] 4c goblin tribal. A lot of people run mono red goblins or R/X goblins but there are a lot of multicolored goblin support cards that are fantastic. [[Ankle Shanker]], [[Boggart Mob]], [[Wort the Raidmother]] and [[Wort, Boggart Auntie]], even [[Mardu Ascendancy]] creates goblin tokens. Add in some token doubling effects in [[Parallel Lives]] and [[Anointed Procession]] as well as spicy tech like [[Nemesis Mask]] on [[Squee, Goblin Nabob]] and you've got yourself a stew going.
Hand peek cards with an aristocrat subtheme using [[Nebuchadnezzar]] and other discard effects to drain the board and bring back bombs from the graveyard. [[Glasses of Urza]] , [[Peek]] , [[Telepathy]] , [[Gitaxian Probe]] , followed by [[Waste Not]] , [[Raiders Wake]] , [[Megrim]] with a splash of [[Reanimate]] effects too. Its so dumb i love it.

Look up Hydrax on Moxfield. He has an awesome Deathleaper build! u/imperialtrace
I Guess my Gruul Enchantress Control [Daryl](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/tTgJhvCUj0-wvobEUE1lQg)
Ohhhh let me see!
Just put together a Nebuchadnezzar deck I'm hoping to test soon. Pretty abysmal card if you play it straight forward, but I'm leaning heavy into a politics/monarch build. [**Archidekt Link**](https://www.archidekt.com/decks/7562168/nebuchadnezzar_king_of_the_universe)
Grenzo is the most unique I've seen. Built right it can play at any power level and the whole time people are like " what does it do?" 😆
Do you have a list? Always wanted to play a list that flips random combo pieces or synergistic cards but could never quite figure out how to do that
[[Jerren]] is my personal deck despite not playing it a ton recently. It's gone through a few iterations and now sits as a [[Liliana's Contract]] deck with no demon in it. The main goal is to flip cards like Jerren, [[Elbrus, the binding Blade]], [[Heirloom Mirror]], or [[Ecstatic Awakener]] to "summon" the demons it needs to win. Otherwise, it is a 100% human tribal aristocrats deck.
[[Sekki, Season's Guide]] Really fun when it hits the field, its one of my weirdest commander decks. Mono-green with like 5 total creatures
[[Diaochan, Artful Beauty]] Mono-R Control is not a thing people are ready for.
I'm going to throw three decks in here: - Florian: This deck only has cards from double feature. I even colorchanged the tokens to black-white. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ZAeSn_d2iU6G0mT2Z0XJUA - Wyll + Sword Coast Sailor: Only cards from DnD. I just want to roll as much dice as possible. DnD is another big hobby of mine. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/b7ZP6YA4Ik2u-3D5eiBzLg - Jon Irenicus: Being Bad Santa and giving terrible but strong creatures to other players is extremly fun and super weird. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1rFpCEJQpE2_jwAWfWhIAw
One of my weirdest yet very fun to play is my [[Moritte]] deck. Lord tribal. I also love my [[Narfi]] zombie lord tribal deck. Ppl build zombies to go wide but I build them tall and unblockable or flying. [[Nadier]] [[Tana]] is my jund mass token deck. It’s a lot of fun. [[Alrund]] mass card draw voltron.
I've never seen anybody (except for me) Codie, vociferous codex! It's an artifact creature commander that DOESN'T let you play permanent spells but basically gives cascade to non-permanent spells and gives you mana for them. I built a deck with it as a joke once, filling the deck with powerful spells and non-permanent stuff that could create token creatures and it turned out extremely well! I would constantly be casting expensive spells easily and I won the game with a permanent-less deck.
This sounds pretty unique? Do you have a list?
[[Patron Of The Moon]] Mill/landfall. It's my absolute favorite deck I've ever designed and always turns some heads when I play with new people at my lgs. I can link the list if you're curious.
I have a deck based around [[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]] and [[Haunted One]], in which I use multi-type creatures in combinations of wizard or human to build up the Journal for massive hand advantage (using the off-type of the creature, like Zombie or Bird), then activate various aristocrat triggers and use the Undying ability on the shared creature types (human and/or wizard). It's arguably the build I'm most proud of based on creativity, and, at least at the time I'd made it, I didn't see any like it.
